How to get Channel 5 and BBC One HD on your Irish EPG and Recordable!!

DigiDec

I wonder is there a way around this, anyway small price to pay for the extra benefits.

Have you turned off 'Pin on pre-watershed playback' in parental controls?

I've also got Premier Sports & Prem Spts Xtra tuned in on 433/437. They have alot of freeviews compared to Setanta. The UFC was free on here last weekend.

Also got 5USA(+1) & 5*(+1) tuned in so if the glitch is patched at least I'll av em on the guide when they go FTA on Astra 1N. Might be an idea for anyone with a London card to do the same for their version of Channel 5.

We should all bombard Channel 5 with emails and make them aware that there is an interest in their channel in Ireland.Ultimately it would mean more viewers for them if it was available on the ROI Sky epg.

very

are the cards available from sky and do they send them to ireland?

I have a samsung hd box and a west midlands white ftv card...All the channels stored in other channels yet none of them stay..Can any1 think why??

obliviousgrudge

So this doesn't work on Samsung Sky+HD boxes then?

gtg60

No, no, stop the misinformation! So far ALL known Sky HD boxes bar the early Thomson's work.

Talk us through what you are doing exactly in case you're making a simple mistake.

Yes, you have to store in the correct regions that match your FTV card or it won't work, do it right and you can get up to 16 extra channels :eek:

1)Plugged out box
2)Put in UK FTV west midlands card
3)Plugged in box and waited for it to load
4)All UK channels loaded and working]
5)Plugged out box
6)Put in my own genuine irish sky card
7)Plugged in box and waited for it to load
8)Only Irish channels appear

AT POINT 5, DO NOT PLUG OUT BOX. PUT IN IRISH CARD AFTER TAKING OUT FTV CARD .. THIS WILL DO THE TRICK

There's your problem right there, you just turn it off (not plug it out) and reinsert your Irish card.

Just the way I've done it since the beginning and once something works I tend not to mess with the procedure

Trying to get Chanell 5 but cant get it to stay. I can get BBConeHD ITV1HD no problem.

I see posts talking about several C5 that can be added, I can only find the one as listed in the Stickies.

Any help on the other C5 details appreciated.

Thanks.

If your FTV card isn't from a region that uses the FTA version of 5 then it won't work for you.

Understood, but i dont know what region its from and was just looking to load up on C5's in other channells to give myself the best shot.

Its the frequencies for other C5's that im looking for to give it one last try!

12422H 27.5 2/3

Store every channel you find on this freq and C5 will now appear on your guide along with 5* & 5USA, none viewable atm tho.

obliviousgrudge

If this works can you watch 5* and 5USA? And what about 5HD?

Tried that and Channel 5 now stayed in my Irish EPG but it says this programme is not viewable??

Wrong region card??
